52 – A small fight for love
***
Smart, smart, smart, smart, smart.
late night.
Unoccupied hallway.
Maru was knocking on the princess’s door with their own signal.
Smart, smart, smart, smart, smart.
Usually, the door opened with one knock, but today, for some reason, there is no answer.
“Why no response? sleep… ?”
Smart, smart, smart, smart, smart.
If it doesn’t open after trying two more times, I’ll just go and sleep… Just as I thought, the door opened.
“came?”
“I thought you were sleeping.”
“I was busy, so I didn’t hear the knock.”
Audrit’s expression as she opens the door is somewhat sullen for some reason.
“What are you busy doing?”
“You don’t have to know.”
Wearing a thin nightgown that was transparent whenever she fluttered, she opened the door and quickly turned her back.
If it was like usual, I would have given you a warm hug, but today it was cold without that.
Besides, I went to bed alone and lay down on my stomach, busy reading something.
At the head of the bed was a heap of colorful stationery.
Maru looked at her, who was especially cold today, and asked.
“What’s next to you?”
“It’s a love letter I received before I dated you.”
“Wait. Did I just say a love letter? Why are you looking at that?”
“Ah~ Before I met the Crown Prince, I received ten pains every day, which is a pity. I want to receive it again.”
Maru slightly frowned at her absurd voice.
Suddenly, I picked up a letter, wondering why.
The moment I met the princess for the first time, it felt like an arrow of love hit my heart.
I thank Heaven a thousand times how fortunate the princess is that she doesn’t have a mate yet.
From today, my purpose is to occupy the princess.
I will live looking only at you and only you can be my lover.
When I have time, I want to meet you alone.
I look forward to your reply.
Looking at the date at the bottom, it was a letter I received three years ago.
Maru snorted.
“You are laughing.”
“Oh, that letter. He was very handsome, but I should have met him once.”
“what?”
what is this girl thinking
He sighed heavily in front of her.
“What is a person who is about to be engaged to do without throwing away the letters sent by men outside of her?”
Then Audrit spoke coldly.
“All the items the princess used or received during her lifetime are preserved in the Historical Archives, right? Love letters are applicable and I just got them from the archives storage.”
“Do you dare to bring and read something that was stuck in a warehouse?”
“Because I want to read it.”
She smiled like she was teasing people.
Maru became horny with jealousy.
“I do not need it. All confiscated. I will burn it.”
He hurriedly picked up the stationery piled on the bed at random, whether crumpled or not.
The idea was to throw it in the trash and burn it in an incinerator tomorrow.
“Then can I confiscate this too?”
Audrit suddenly sprints toward the closet, opens the closet door, and reveals two parcel boxes.
“This is from you, can I have it?”
“What is it?”
“If you are interested, come and see.”
Maru threw the letters he was holding in his chest back to the bed and walked towards the closet.
I picked up the parcel box and checked it.
“My name is written on the receiver? It’s for me, why do you have it? Well? Yoris?”
Upon opening the box, there were 50 each of Healing Potion, Mana Potion, and Rejuvenation Decoction.
“Wow, it must be very expensive for this amount.”
A letter was also enclosed.
how are you?
Coming back to my hometown after a long time makes me feel at ease.
As expected, I think spending time meditating in an idyllic place rather than an adventure suits my constitution.
The potion I made myself…
The main contents were asking about the current situation of Yoris and Maru’s well-being.
Maru unknowingly smiled happily.
“It must be nice to have a good hometown. I feel free in my writing. Tsk. I can’t see you.”
It was nice, but the bad side of Lloris also came to mind, and I had mixed feelings.
The feeling of receiving a gift but neither liking nor disliking it.
I folded the letter carefully and looked at Audrit.
She had her arms crossed with a sullen expression.
“What is this about? It was sent by Mr. Lloris, the former warrior party.”
“Who has it? Shall we see the next one soon?”
“What’s next?”
Maru put down the box of Yoris and lifted the unopened parcel box with both hands to check.
“My dear Alexandro… ? The sender, Princess Charlotte… ?”
“What excuse are you going to give?”
Audrey smirked with a cold expression.
Depending on Maru’s answer, he is ready to scratch the bar.
“Ah, you’re angry about this.”
Maru smiled brightly as if it were nothing special.
Only then did he understand Audrit’s sudden behavior today.
I was worried that the affection had cooled down, but I was relieved.
“Charlotte is really playful. It has nothing to do with me.”
“shallot?”
Audrit crossed her arms and rolled her eyes as she approached right in front of me.
I looked straight up at the floor.
“We’re not in a relationship, but are you friendly, Charlotte?”
“Oh, when did I do that? Shah, I said Charlotte… ”
Maru took a step back under the force and swallowed his saliva.
The tide of battle was reversed.
Maru became a frightened rat, and Odrit looked like a lion trying to bite its prey.
“So who are you? Don’t think about cheating, honestly blow everything.”
“When my mother was a warrior, she was the daughter of a colleague, but she is just an asshole. He was three years older than me, and he loved pranks. The prank was so bad that I didn’t want to be with him. I was annoyed and ran away.”
A long time ago, the memory of Charlotte feeding herself the soup made by crushing dozens of long-sleeved fish living in the water, pretending to be ordinary meat soup, flashed by.
After that, I vomited just looking at the soup for a while.
“Isn’t it turning a person into a human being to avoid a crisis?”
“Absolutely not. I swear I will give it my all.”
“I’m into all of that. Would you like something else?”
“When I go to Narundra and there is a place you want to visit, I will definitely follow your Highness’s instructions, no matter how busy I am. how about it?”
“Well… You seem a little weak.”
Audrey pondered for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
“like. I’ll believe everything you’ve said so far.”
She pointed her finger at the parcel box.
“Check what’s in the box.”
“At least it contains useless things.”
Maru unwrapped the box and opened the lid.
His eyes widened as he checked the contents inside.
I quickly closed the road cover.
Audrey grabbed his hand coldly.
“Open again.”
“Just don’t look.”
“Open it.”
“It doesn’t seem like a big deal.”
“Open it.”
Maru slowly opened the box with a embarrassed expression.
Audrit reached out and picked up the contents inside.
As he turned around, he snorted in disgust.
“Hey… Do you have pretty girl underwear? I sent you both the top and the bottom in case you would feel sad if I sent just one.”
I glared at the perplexed floor.
“Did you like this kind of thing? Maybe it’s because Empire is definitely leading the way in fashion, and even their underwear is erotic and flamboyant. I must have hated it because I only wore white underwear every day. right?”
Maru said urgently in an alert posture.
“I never thought of that.”
“You have to be able to believe it.”
She tossed her underwear into the box and read the enclosed letter.
The queen told me that you are in a place called Basilite Kingdom?
why did you go there
Aren’t you curious how pretty I became?
Can’t you see it now?
Are your breasts bigger than 7 years ago?
As proof, I’ll send you the underwear I’m wearing these days
Looking at that, I get a lot of jerking off~♡
“Where is the knife?”
“Where are you going!”
“At this point, we die together. I’d rather die than a husband who masturbates to other women’s underwear.”
“It’s a misunderstanding, it’s a misunderstanding! That idiot likes to joke around!”
“How do I know what the two of you were doing when you were together with that woman 7 years ago? No matter how close you are, would a woman carelessly send underwear? Apparently something happened, so we ended up sending even underwear!”
“She’s not a decent woman like Audrey! There are crazy people like this who can’t even think normally!”
“ah! I’m nervous! I’m just mad! Why are there so many women around! This flirt!”
Looking at Audrit, who grumbled with a frowning voice and grumbled, Maru smiled lightly.
He knew how much she loved him.
“Audrey. Don’t you feel like there’s a wall between us now? But there is a small window pierced in the wall. I open the window and tell you. smart. Can we clear up our misunderstanding? Calm down and listen to me.”
“Wow… ”
Maru’s words shook Audrit’s heart.
I almost agreed to his request because I thought it was a wonderful metaphor with romance.
She quickly came to her senses and frowned.
“I do not like it! I’m going to stick a board through the window and nail it up!”
“If you do that, you’ll never see each other again, so you want to break up?”
“You want to break up?!”
Audrit was startled.
“No, not me, you asked if you would!”
“Care… ”
She cried and then burst into tears.
“Sobbing!”
“Why are you crying?!”
When Maru approached in surprise, she cried in a cute voice and pushed him lightly.
“Don’t come… ! go away… !”
Maru hugged her from behind.
“Because it’s a misunderstanding. I only have you.”
“me too… I’m the only one with you, but I hate having so many women around you. Sobbing!”
Audrit wept sadly for a while.
Thinking of the women on the floor made me annoyed.
As the crown prince, of course there are many women he knows, but it is true that he is anxious.
What if he was less handsome so that women wouldn’t cling to him?
Her complaint did not last long.
Today was such a day, as lovers frequently bicker over trivial matters.
She was quickly relieved of her anger and whispered affectionately with Maru.
There was also a happy laugh.
As the moon began to set, the two were lying naked on the bed.
***
three days later
The day dawned before we left for Narundra, the city of elves.
All members of the royal family, including Maru, prepared to leave the palace early in the morning.
The distance to Narundra was so far that he planned to use the warp gate once on the way.
Portals could only be used by a few, but warp gates allowed hundreds of people to move at once.
Instead, in order to use the warp gate, you had to make an agreement with the other city and install the facility on each side.
If either one of them is closed, you cannot use it.
In addition, if you use portals or warp gates continuously, your body will be strained.
My body felt tired because the human body went through the process of being completely disassembled and then reassembled.
After using it up to twice a day, I had to take at least 5 days off to recover.
In addition, since the probability of failure is 0.02%, statistically, 2 out of 10,000 times there was bad luck falling in the wrong area, different from the originally intended place.
For this reason, there were quite a few people who were reluctant to use portals or warp gates.
“I hate it because I get dizzy after warping.”
The king in fancy traveling clothes grumbled.
Is she already pregnant? Didn’t she act a little erratically?
